No. The problem with the system is that the relation between the votes a
state has in the presidetial election and the number of inhabitants of
this state differs between the states. So it's possible for a candidate
that has less votes to become president. Even without fraud.

Wasn't the reason for the Electors that at that time it was not
practicable to make a direct election due to the great distances in
America?
